MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — An unemployed tree-cutter who broke into a home in November to commit “a random burglary” admitted Thursday that he killed three people who surprised him and confronted him, then stuffed their remains in a hollow tree. He also pleaded guilty to kidnapping and raping a 13-year- old girl who was with them.
Matthew Hoffman, 30, entered the plea to aggravated murder, burglary, kidnapping, rape and other charges. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
